Painted: Uruk-hai Siege Troops

 

Another foray into Middle-Earth and Isengard, this time with an Uruk-hai Siege Troops unit, consisting of 8 warriors with swords and two berserkers carrying flaming brands. The base recipe can be found in my first uruk-hai post (recipe). The only additions are the brands themselves, the "bombs" and the ladders (stack of which can be seen in the background).

So, how did I tackle the brands? I painted them in Averland Sunset (Citadel Paints) and then just drybrushed them with Ryza Rust (Citadel Paints). It was the fastest way I could imagine, but I believe it looks quite ok. As for the "bombs" I drybrushed them with Iron Warriors, then washed them with Targor Rageshade and lightly drybrushed them with Iron Hands Steel, so nothing fancy, but it looks decent. The ladders were even simpler: slapchopped the wood, painted it with Wyldwood and then drybrushed the metal parts with Iron Warriors.

I have actually painted the last model from this set a few days back and even based them at the same time as the generic Uruk-hai Captain posted  on Saturday, but in order to view the set as finished I had to paint the actual siege equipment as well, To be honest, I don't even know if it appears in the new edition at all (it disappeared from GW's website some time ago), but even if not, I can just use the berserkers as... well, berserkers and the warriors as regular warriors without shields.
